i cannot possibly express how much of a gigantic pain in the ass this is; it’s making more more slovenly than i want to be because it’s such an inconvenience to throw stuff away.

like should i buy a hand truck? that wouldn’t help for garbage bags

    Out of curiosity: what is a “car’s drive away” according to fellow Americans? I mean how many meters would that be?

      It’s when you are speeding down the highway and huck bags of garbage out your window, then you drive the car away. It’s the most economical way to dispose of waste because it doesn’t cost anything or end up in a landfill.

      Am American and there’s not enough context to know. I’m guessing OP lives in a city, and is using “a car’s drive” to mean any distance that he doesn’t want to drag trash to. Anything longer than a city block, maybe?

      I give op props, because I refuse to live anywhere that doesn’t have an in-unit washer/dryer and dishwasher, much less a place that has no elevator and no trash shoot. Fuuuuck that.
